Hundred-Mechanism Battle Puppets
"You wouldn't happen to be like that Voldemort," Skylar sneered, "Thinking that I made them look exactly like me just to scare you out of sheer boredom?"
"A human puppet... a human puppet... this can only be a puppet, not a human..." Morgan murmured to himself, lost in thought. "Impossible... even the most advanced alchemy cannot create true life. This violates the laws of magic, and even magic is not omnipotent, especially alchemy, which is based on the principle of 'equivalent exchange'... wait, there's another possibility... unless..."
Morgan's bright heterochromatic eyes widened suddenly, his body swayed uncontrollably, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face as he exclaimed, "You... you possess the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Bingo! Too bad there's no prize!" Skylar shouted. "Aquila!"
"Ouch... kid, that modified Lightning Curse you just used was really something. You were so impressive, but you really gave me a hard time..." Aquila muttered to itself as it circled down from the sky again, finally stopping in mid-air to the upper left of Skylar, its wings fluttering. It had returned to its normal appearance, and the dazzling white light that had been clinging to it had disappeared.
"Young man, the original lightning magic was passed down from the Rosier Family of France. It was originally an obscure magic, until decades ago when a little boy named Grindelwald improved upon it, creating the terrifying 'Lightning Curse' —a spell known for its speed and destructive power—thus making lightning magic famous." Even Aquila, nearly a thousand years old, couldn't help but show a hint of admiration at this point. It said with a touch of emotion, "I never imagined you could innovate and improve upon it further. However, while your move is indeed more powerful,..."
"When Lady Ravenclaw created me, she designed me to be a magical pet capable of containing any magical element, and to freely manipulate the elements in battle through the enchantments of my master linked by a contract. But—" Aquila said with a bitter expression, "Ravenclaw is of the wind element, so although I can be enchanted with any element, the gentle wind element is the most suitable for me—your lightning element is too violent. If this happens a few more times, my body won't be able to take it..."
"Enough with the nonsense! Here you go!" Skylar tossed a red-glowing stone toward Aquila — the Philosopher's Stone, obtained from Nicolas Flamel. Aquila quickly dodged the Sorcerer's Stone, swallowed it whole, and then Skylar, beaming with Sorcerer's Stone, declared, "Let them witness the power of a human puppet! Let them remember this well—I, Skylar Malfoy, have companions; I am never alone!"
After swallowing the Sorcerer's Stone, Aquila suddenly split into hundreds of phantoms, which simultaneously transformed into streaks of seven-colored light and entered the various human puppets.
The puppet's previously empty pupils suddenly lit up with a red light, and faint eagle-shaped patterns flickered deep within them.
Skylar's unique puppet technique— the Hundred-Mechanism Battle Puppets!
Hundreds of puppet figures rushed in all directions at the same time, but their target was not Morgan and his two companions, but the Shadow of the Magic Dragon and the Death Eaters surrounding them!
Seemingly influenced by the surrounding black mist, the Dark Soulers disciples of the Shadow of the Magic Dragon were already eager to join the battle, but the high level of combat between their leader and the enemy prevented them from gaining a foothold. Now, seeing an opportunity to fight, they suddenly transformed into wisps of black mist, with human faces faintly visible at the forefront, roaring and charging towards the puppets!
All that could be heard was the emotionless voice of the first row of human puppets charging at the forefront. "Earth Angel, Shield of Earth —Activate!" Magical light flashed in each of their hands, suddenly conjuring up huge shields. The shields were engraved with Eihwaz Ancient Runes, shimmering with a golden luster and filled with rich earth magic elements.
The black mist crashed into it, but it couldn't stop or retreat the puppet array even a fraction of an inch. Instead, the black mist transformed back into human form and fell backward.
The puppets in the second row also began to emit mechanical voices. "Wing Angel, 'Arrow of Flowing Wind' —Activate!" Each of them held a giant blue two-handed mechanical crossbow, with a whirlwind spinning rapidly in front of the crossbow bolts. With a series of "poof, poof, poof" sounds, the arrows transformed into invisible winds, carrying the howling of a gale, and swept towards the Dark Soulers.
The Dark Soulers reacted swiftly. Having just reverted to human form, they couldn't immediately return to their previous invulnerable black mist state. They could only cast their Shield Charm one by one. These weren't the common, readily available spells used by ordinary wizards; they were the "Spinning Shield Charm," which Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch Jr. had once revealed while playing Moody the Elder.
A sharp, piercing clang of metal scraping against metal rang out as arrows struck the shields, exploding into dazzling sparks. Although the constantly spinning shields were shattered one after another, they managed to dissipate the impact force of the arrows through their skillful rotation.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, having finally weathered the storm and only needing another minute or so to transform back into their invincible black mist form, the puppets in the third row began to speak mechanically, uttering words that terrified them. "Seraph, 'Heaven-Burning Fire' —Activate!" They simultaneously opened their mouths, spewing out black demonic flames!
The Dark Soulers had just transformed into black mist and cast the Spinning Shield Charm, expending a considerable amount of magic power. Now, seeing the deadly magical flames approaching, they could only force themselves to muster their strength and cast various Protective Charm to defend themselves—some were ordinary Shield Charm, some were Aguamenti, some were earth wall Conjuring Spell, and some were simply spewing out the same flames to meet the attack head-on.
Although their magic was nearly depleted, the black energy from the "Soul-Crushing Life-Ending Curse" accelerated the burning of their life force, rapidly replenishing their magic, so they were still able to fight on. As for the Death Eaters who were not possessed by the black energy, one had already died, and the others, quick to react, had retreated far away, fearing that they would be caught in the aftershocks of the attack.
Just when they thought the situation was about to reach a stalemate, a mechanical voice rang out again.
If the previous attack could only be described as terrifying and exhausting, this sound was the final straw that broke the camel's back, plunging them into a hellish despair.
"Fallen Angel, 'Fountain of Evil' —Activate!" The angels in the fourth row finally revealed themselves from their concealed positions, conjuring two jet-black revolvers in their hands, which shot out a thick, black liquid like a waterfall. The liquid was somewhat like water, and somewhat like oil, yet it was quite compatible with the demonic flames emitted by the Seraph, instantly merging with them.
With a deafening roar, the demonic flames instantly transformed into their final form, the legendary Fiendfyre capable of ending everything.
Fiendfyre Blaze.
Fiendfyre Blaze transformed into over a hundred Fire Dragon, Fire Snake, and Chimera, breaking through the Dark Soulers' defenses in a mere instant, and then devouring them all amidst their utter despair.
Less than a minute later.
Fiendfyre Blaze disappeared.
Also vanished were the hundred Dark Soulers, leaving not a single drop of Ashes behind.
Only eight Death Eaters remained, staring Dazed at the scene from afar.
